The company is committed to minimising energy use throughout all its activities, including investing in low-energy technology for manufacturing systems and working in partnership with customers delivering first-class products which are kinder to the planet.

PCR (Post Consumer Regrind)

PCR is plastic products that have been recycled, which means they have been reprocessed to be re-used in new manufacturing

PCR conserves energy and non-renewable resources as recycling replaces the need for primary extraction and the manufacture of new plastics

RPC M&H Plastics offers a range of PCR material for use in the production of plastic bottles and jars at levels of between 25% – 100% in PET and HDPE

PCR tubes are available for use with PE starting at 25% PCR material

PLA (Polylactic Acid)

PLA is a compostable polymer derived from renewable sources such as corn starch

RPC M&H Plastics has trialled PLA in various manufacturing processes and the results to date have been promising although there are some limitations on what can be produced

We would be happy to develop this further in partnership with a customer – please contact our Sales Team to discuss

Sugarcane polymer

Polymer made using bio-oil derived from sugar cane rather than traditional oil

RPC M&H Plastics Beccles is currently producing sugarcane flexible tubes and developing bottles along with RPC M&H Plastics Winchester for the packaging market
